The Paradox of Prestige: Economic Disparities in Self-Financed Ayurveda Academia

Milind Chatrabhuji.


Abstract
The disparity in remuneration between faculty in government and self-financed Ayurveda colleges creates a crisis in academia. This article highlights the economic gap, the phenomenon of 'ghost faculty', and the resulting impact on education quality. We argue for strict enforcement of equal pay standards to ensure the sustainability of high-quality Ayurveda education.
This article brings to the fore a critical, yet often unspoken, crisis facing the academic backbone of our discipline: the severe economic disparity between faculty in self-financed Ayurveda colleges and their counterparts in the government sector. While we tirelessly work to shape the future Vaidyas of this nation, a significant portion of the academic fraternity is facing a crisis of valuation that threatens the dignity of the profession itself.

Key words: Ayurveda Education, Salary Disparity, 7th Pay Commission, Faculty Remuneration, NCISM Regulations
